Engineering and chemical in the part of the method for produce rubber ball looks like sewing pattern.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe method for produce rubber ball looks like sewing pattern comprising with steps of natural rubber mixed with chemical compounds to produce the ball which has two layers, inner bail or called bladder rubber and outer layer. The outer layer made from pieces of patterned rubber or patch attached onto bladder rubber and combined together by molding machine. Said pieces of rubber can be prepared in desire pattern.
The method according to this invention can produce rubber ball looks like sewing pattern and take less time than prior method. The product has durable quality and proof water.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ARTThe ball production by conventional method is human hand-made. Of course they need the man skill in the art for sewing leather to make the ball. The ball come from this method are uncertain in quality and water can pass through the tiny needle holes. And the ball will downgrade easily
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONThe method for produce rubber ball looks like sewing pattern comprising;
Step of Making Bladder Rubber (Also Referred to as a Rubber Bladder)
Compare the bladder rubber size with template if the size are equal winding the bladder rubber by winding machine. Winding the bladder rubber will support the shape of ball in sphere all the time of use. The appropriate cycle is about 1,200 cycles (as shown in FIG. 7).
Step of Making Pieces of Rubber or Patches for Outer Layer
The method according to this invention can produce rubber ball looks like sewing pattern and take less time than prior method. The product has durable quality and proof water.

1. A method for producing a rubber ball having an outer surface with a simulated sewing pattern, comprising the steps of:
making a rubber bladder, comprising:
at least one of grinding, kneading, and mixing a rubber with MASTERBATCH and SB 11 for approximately two (2) minutes;
at least one of grinding, kneading, and mixing the rubber with a chemical compound for approximately one (1) minute;
immersing the rubber in a starch slurry;
allowing the rubber to dry;
at least one of grinding, kneading, and mixing the rubber for approximately one (1) minute to make the rubber softer;
adjusting a thickness of the rubber while the rubber is at a temperature of between approximately sixty (60) degrees Celsius and approximately ninety (90) degrees Celsius so that the thickness is between approximately zero point ninety-five (0.95 mm) millimeters and approximately one point zero five (1.05 mm) millimeters so that that rubber forms a sheet of rubber;
pressing and folding the rubber sheet on a round shape while at a temperature of between approximately sixty (60) degrees Celsius and one hundred (100) degrees Celsius;
cutting and sealing the rubber sheet to form the rubber bladder with a weight of between approximately one hundred thirty (130) grams and approximately one hundred fifty (150) grams;
curing the rubber bladder for approximately three (3) minutes at a temperature of between approximately one hundred fifty-five (155) degrees Celsius and approximately one hundred sixty-five (165) degrees Celsius Β° C. at a pressure of not less than approximately five point five (5.5 Kg/cm2) kilograms per square centimeter;
installing an air filling tube and valve in the rubber bladder;
comparing a size of the rubber bladder with a template and if the rubber bladder is properly sized, winding the rubber bladder using approximately twelve hundred (1,200) cycles in a winding machine;
making a plurality of patches for the outer surface of the rubber ball, comprising:
forming a rubber by at least one of grinding, kneading, and mixing a natural rubber and a synthetic rubber masticate for approximately two (2) minutes and then adding a coloring material and further at least one of grinding, kneading, and mixing for approximately five (5) minutes;
at least one of grinding, kneading, and mixing the rubber with Sulphur for approximately five (5) minutes;
immersing the rubber in a starch slurry;
allowing the rubber to air dry;
kneading the rubber for approximately one (1) minute;
calendaring the rubber at a temperature of between approximately sixty (60) degrees Celsius and approximately ninety (90) degrees Celsius to form the rubber into a rubber sheet having a thickness of the rubber to be between approximately one point two (1.2) millimeters and approximately one point five (1.5) millimeters;
cutting the rubber sheet into the patches each having a desired pattern;
combining the patches with the rubber bladder to form a rubber ball having the simulated sewing pattern, comprising:
placing the patches to an inside of a mold and position the rubber bladder in the mold to combine together;
forming the rubber ball by curing the patches and the rubber bladder in the mold so that a plurality of ridges are formed by a perimeter of each of the patches to create the simulated sewing pattern.
